Yes batteries need to be better, and preferably also produced using renewable energy. Not only that, but the ability to charge them quicker needs to happen also.
When we are at that stage (not too far away), electric cars will definitely replace petrol. They are faster, less components to break down and of course better for the environment.

It was probably a diesel. It's not to do with the actual exhaust pipes, it's the engine itself (whether it's leaking oil or air fuel ratio was off).
